Incubator opinions?

[EnnieM]

I’m looking for a new incubator or 2 - hatching anywhere from 12 to 100 eggs at a time. Has anyone here used this? Opinions? What’s your favorite? I prefer an auto turner.

I don't think anyone on here likes those...

Incubators are one of those things you get what you pay for. I wouldn't get it just cause it's too cheap. I wouldn't get a styrofoam one either

I highly recommend buying a used GQF cabinet incubator. They can be purchased on craigslist or facebook marketplace for $200-350. They hold temp and humidity great and require practically zero adjustments once you get them dialed in. They hold around 250 chicken egss and automatically turn.

They are always in high demand so if you ever want to get rid of it you can sell it for pretty much the same price you bought it for.

Here's mine. I've hatched around 600-700 chicks in it and have very good hatch rates, even with shipped eggs. I've had 119 quail eggs in mine for the last 7 days and I haven't touched it once.

I would use professional cabinet bator or build your own (it's very easy and inexpensive), 90% of incubators you see on amazon are crap.
You can buy build your own, for about >$40, but if you add a turner motor and build your own egg racks, the price goes up, if you add prefab turning tray or two, the price triples.
